The Canadian Football League (CFL) is a professional football league in Canada, established in 1958. It features nine teams divided into two divisions: the East and the West. The league's season typically runs from June to November, culminating in the championship game known as the Grey Cup. CFL games are played on a larger field than in the NFL, with three downs instead of four. Each team aims to score points by advancing the ball into the opponent's end zone or kicking it through the goalposts. The league has a rich history and is an important part of Canadian sports culture.
